I have a small 20 high and i was wondering if i throw a small undalata (spelling?) in there would it start the cycle??Also is this a good way to cycle or is there something diff?

That's not a good way to start a cycle. Just put a small piece of raw shrimp in your tank for a couple days and you'll be fine. No need to put a fish through stress just to cycle a tank.

and check out all the links at the top in blue. Do some more research before you get any fish. There are many better ways to start a small tank like yours. None invlove triggers, especially really mean ones like the undulated.

The undulated is a nice trigger but its an aggressive fish.It might kill other fish if they are smaller than it.
